Fanboy? That's fact. The GTX 980 is and always will be more powerful than the 290X, every benchmark has shown it.

The 980 also costs ~$250 more.

I bet is actually "Up to 400%" lol.

The stars died for you to be here today.

A locked bathroom in the right place can make all the difference in the world.

the anandtech test is reliable. You just have to understand what it is. It's designed to measure one aspect of GPU driver performance- namely the CPU bottleneck when overloaded with draw calls. It doesn't mean that the 290x is going to become four times faster, or that the 980 is going to become 2.5 times faster, or that the 980 is going to beat the 290x by 50%. It's like a synthetic benchmark measuring one aspect of performance. The reason for some of the retarded arguing is that it seems much of this community cannot understand that.

oh ya the ibtimes article is clickbait. Will mislead less tech savvy people who will come back in one year and say that dx12 was overhyped. This will happen due to no fault of Microsoft or Nvidia or AMD

if you buy any reference card anyway, you're crazy. AMD or Nvidia.

Current Build: (protege) Core i7-4790k @ 4.7GHz (1.264v) | Corsair H75 | Gigabyte GA-G1.SNIPER Z97 | MSI GeForce GTX 970 4(3.5)gb Twin Frozr (Soon to be 380x) | Corsair RM750 Laptop: AMD A6-4400m | Toshiba 500gb HD | Radeon HD 7520g

Heyyo,

 

400% in ONE instance (Starswarm on DX11 cripples ALL GPU's) does not equal 400% across the board for us all.

Keep that in mind.

Not saying I don't welcome more performance, but it's a little misleading to think it's standard fare for all things.

I agree with you... one of the only people in this thread that is sensible.. to me? It seems more like a driver issue for D3D11 vs D3D12 for Star Swarm... 8fps? That's DEFINITELY not a proper representation of the AMD R9 290X... It is funny how people are running away with it though like QueenDementria lol... do you HONESTLY think that it means that the AMD R9 290X will see 400% framerate boost? Like somehow DirectX 12 will boost all games into the stratosphere? That a single AMD R9 290X will do 4K @ 60fps in all games? Step back and think about this situation a little more please. :P

 

I for one have high hopes for DirectX 12... that it will do what it promises... better hardware control for game developers and maybe even fix the frame buffer issues that plague Multi-GPU setups and allow VRAM doubling instead of each VRAM bank having to duplicate data? Only time will tell... Star Swarm sounds like it is doing something to what I'm hoping... but this benchmark is completely out of whack haha...

 

 

400% increase.....on an fx-4300 cpu....

But it's got quad core!!!! Maybe it's OC'ed to like.. 10GHZ!? We'll never know. ;)

 

Nobody really has taken advantage of Mantle. With time it should get better, just like PhysX. I remember the joke about PhysX was that "It looks great, for all two games that support it".

Mantle is/was a great idea... fix what DirectX & OpenGL hasn't... but DirectX 12 seems to be rectifying it... but I'll wait for a reputable benchmark... why is the GTX 750ti getting better framerate than the AMD R9 290X in D3D11??? That makes absolutely no sense. Something tells me their setup was bugged right out... that or AMD haven't optimized their drivers for D3D11 Star Swarm test...

 

Ever heard of 3DFX Glide by chance? It was a spin-off of OpenGL by 3DFX Labs. They focused on building the best graphics API and at the time? Yes, 3DFX Glide was the shit! It blew away OpenGL and Direct 3D... BUT... and just like you said QueenDemetria, support was rather lack-lustre... despite Unreal Engine supporting it? No other notable game engines supported it so it faded into obscurity and DirectX was gaining in popularity... OpenGL didn't know its head from its ass and was focusing more on Computer Aided Design and neglected the improvments of pixel shaders and shader models that were gaining in processing abilities and 3DFX's DirectX side of their drivers sucked terribly (Quake 3 Arena was unplayable in D3D and Counter-Strike had a two second lag in D3D as prime examples from my 3DFX Voodoo 4 with 32MB on PCI... buck yeah!!! lol)  that eventually 3DFX Labs went under and NVIDIA bought out their licenses..

 

Interesting fact about 3DFX? Whilst lots of their engineers went over to NVIDIA to develop NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) and port it from 3DFX SLI (Serial Link Interface)? A bunch of engineers went over to ATI (before AMD bought them out) to assist them in making the HD x1000 series GPUs and CrossFire... that's why AMD CrossFire and NVIDIA SLI work so similar...

 

AMD haven't said much about the technical side of AMD Mantle? But I'd bet money that the 3DFX Engineers who made 3DFX Glide did the same thing of porting and improving OpenGL for creating AMD Mantle... but just like history? Now DirectX is catching up so AMD Mantle will probably fade away and DirectX 12 will be the mainstray which is fine...

 

but I do have some hopes for Khronos Group actually fixing OpenGL by doing what should have been done long ago, and splitting up OpenGL into OpenGL (Legacy) and glNext (core)... maybe then gaming on Mac and/or Linux won't be so damn painful... OpenGL is the worst thing ever for AMD CrossFire and NVIDIA SLI support... both don't work at all in Linux save for like.. ID Tech 4 Engine games... but now that GPUs are so strong? They don't need it... but playing Dying Light, War Thunder or Serious Sam 3 on Linux with Multi-GPU? All the other cards do is have fans that spin... no performance boosts... sigh...

 

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that ID Software, who used to be pro-OpenGL have completely dropped OpenGL from ID Tech 5 Engine starting with the DirectX 11 only "The Evil Within" game... not a trace of OpenGL.

It's an insanely CPU bottlenecked test they did. DirectX 12 allows GPU to provide more performance without being held back by CPU as much. In DX11 AMD's video cards suffer more from this than Nvidia's, that's why the gains are so large... because AMD's cards performed worse to begin with in this test due to not performing as well when CPU is a limiting factor.

 

Also AnandTech is kind of a tech website...

Heyyo,

She's got huge.....       tracks of land.

LMFAO! Ok you win this thread. :P

 

that's cute

It's not AMD's message to NVIDIA... that was Linus Torvalds showing his dislike for how hard it is to work with NVIDIA to incorporate NVIDIA Optimus in Linux... but as annoying as that is? I'm pretty sure Qualcomm and Creative Labs is worse... My Soundblaster Recon3D crackles and fucks up so bad in Linux... my Killernic 2100 doesn't support Linux at all, so I have to enable onboard LAN when I want to boot into Linux... at least NVIDIA supports their GPUs on Linux and have pretty darn good drivers for gaming just not for 4K gaming... yet....
